When I hit F5 (or use menus) to compile and download the code the whole IDE window resizes and moves. Then when I get rid of the 'program debug' buttons palette, the IDE again resizes and moves.

I quite like to code with the IDE and a browser with API info side by side and filling the whole screen. When I first compiled just now, the IDE went from half the screen, to nearly filling the screen, then went back to a different position and size, meaning I had to manually drag resize and position the IDE window.

Does this happen on 'native' Windows systems ie is it a VMWare issue? Does it annoy anyone else? I can't find any settings in RobotC or Windows that might have an effect on this, have I missed something?

First off - I'm not yet a licensed user. Just started a trial this evening, but I already feel like ROBOTC will me making my "ToBuy" list.

With that said... I would definitely fall into the category of those that consider the IDE window resizing/moving behavior a big PITA. I consistently make use of the "snap" feature of Windows 7.

Consider this situation: - ROBOTC is "snapped" to the left side of the monitor - ROBOTC Help is "snapped" to the right side of the monitor - being used for function reference while learning the library.

As it is, the main IDE window "unsnaps" each time I run/stop a program. That's somewhat of a nuisance. Now I'm sure that after becoming more familiar with the software I'll find quite a few "feature requests" that would take precedence over this one ... but the fact remains - it's a bit of a pain.

But, but, but it's a feature! I have two completely different layouts for when I am programming and when I am debugging, so I am quite happy with it I can see how it would be a pain with what you're doing, though.
